frizz-free hair

With the advent of Fall, pumpkins are all around us. But don’t let it’s ubiquitous holiday presence fool you – the humble pumpkin is actually a health and beauty powerhouse! Numerous studies have shown that Pumpkin Seed Oil, taken internally, can help to reverse the effects of hereditary hair loss by blocking the conversion of testosterone into harmful DHT. It’s also a rich source of zinc, which thickens hair and speeds the growth of hair. Vitamin A, E and K and four fatty acids, round out the nutritional benefits of this botanical beauty.

Applying Pumpkin Seed Oil topically to the hair and skin carries many of the same benefits conferred by ingesting the oil. As outlined in this Harper’s Bazaar article, the oil’s antioxidant and protective properties help to shield and moisturize the hair, adding sheen, fighting frizz, and nourishing the follicles. Many of these activities can be linked to the high levels of phytosterols found in Pumpkin Seed Oil. These organic, plant-based compounds are especially effective at penetrating the skin and hair, working from the inside-out to increase softness and decreasing electro-static charges. Using a moisturizer, like Everyday Leave-in Detangling Conditioner, that contains Pumpkin Seed Oil, helps to condition and nourish the hair over time while imparting immediate improvements in luster and manageability. This multi-purpose product can be used on wet or dry hair to tame frizzies and enhance natural waves and curls.

Celebrate the season by making pumpkin seed oil an essential part of your cold-weather hair regimen!
